> I was wondering... has anyone experienced weight GAIN with Wellbutrin XL or Geodon, I just started taking those for bipolar beginning at very low doses of 40mg / day Geodon and 150 mg / day Wellbutrin XL, along with 300 mg / day of Topamax which has decreased my appetite, but I hope that these two other meds do not increase it again or bring any weight on. I'm sure that the dosage will also be increased at some point and I was wondering if I can get some feedback from people who have used these. The lit for Wellbutrin side effects indicates weight loss OR gain, so that doesn't say much, and Geodon is supposed to be weight neutral, but it still makes me skeptical. Your feedback on the weight issue and other side effects would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Both Wellbutrin and Topamax are known to help people lose weight. I'm uncertain about the Geodon though.
